The first patch is ok and I applied it. Before this patch though I'd like to have the attached patch. It merely fixes what we already have: The -I and -O options got broken over time, we ended up using the barebox malloc pool before it was initialized. So next we have to create a patch for what you want to do: Have an option to create a bidirectional console in barebox. Can we have a --file-console option that takes two path arguments instead of one, with some separator in between?
